Vick to play with starters Thursday night

Andy Reid just concluded his post practice press conference and filled us in on who's and who's out of this Thursday's 3rd preseason game against the Jaguars. The third preseason game is typically the most important as it's the one the starters play the most.
Donovan McNabb will play the first three quarters and Kevin Kolb will play the 4th. Where does that leave Mike Vick you ask? Good question. Reid was cagey as to what Vick's role would be, but he did say that Vick would play the first 3 quarters with the starters. It seemed the implication was that he could see time both with McNabb and maybe even take a series with the starters at QB himself. He also said he had no reservations about showing Vick in the Wildcat formation. I gotta say, Big Red looked downright giddy as he announced this. Should be interesting...
He also ran down the list of guys who won't be playing this Thursday.
Coach Reid also updated the injury status of a number of players. Sheldon Brown (rib strain), Omar Gaither (knee sprain), Leonard Weaver (sprained MCL), Shawn Andrews (back), Todd Herremans (stress reaction in foot), Darren Howard (groin), Charleston Hughes (foot contusion), Tracy White (rib strain), and newly acquired Tony Curtis (high ankle sprain) all will not play against the Jaguars.
You may notice that one big name is not on that list, Brian Westbrook. Westbrook will play, but won't go the three quarters with the starters. My guess is that he goes a couple series or a quarter at most. Stacy Andrews and Jason Peters will also play.

Stacy Andrews and Jason Peters will also play.
That’s big, any idea where Stacy Andrews is playing(Guard or Tackle), and who will take Herremans place on the line?
If we were going into battle I think I would want, Peters Cole Jackson MJG Andrews, but I guess it depends on where Andy wants players to get work

Max Jean plays LG and Stacy Plays RG with Justice at RT.

So if Shawn Doesn't play week one
Justice or MJG?
Since Herremans will be available(Knock on wood)
by Tron79 on Aug 25, 2009 2:39 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
All indications
seem to be that Justice is the RT till Shawn comes back. If Herremans is not ready for any reason, I have to think that Jean-Gilles gets the nod at LG

WILL NFL NETWORK HAVE THE LIVE GAME OR WILL ANY OTHER NETWORK OUTSIDE OF PHILLY BE SHOWING THE GAME LIVE????

Sirius will broadcast Merril Reese
Or if you don’t have Sirius, you can go online and listen to Merril on this site:
(Even though 610 WIP has Merril on the radio, they dont broadcast him on their website during the game)

My guess would be
Peters, MJG, Jackson, Andrews, Justice
With the assumption that Shawn Andrews will be back for the regular season (I know, that’s a big assumption) Stacy will need to get some reps at RG if that’s where they want him. Plus, from some of Reid’s previous comments, it seems as though if Shawn can’t go at RT, it will be Justice stepping in.

Missed a couple names...
I didn’t see Trent Cole, Abiamiri, or Trevor Laws on the injury list…does that mean these guys are back in action?

Anyone else think Westbrook should just not play? At all?
by SJPhillyVT on Aug 25, 2009 3:42 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Agreed
They should just bubble wrap the guy until week 1.

They say this might be the highest rated pre-season game in Eagles history.

Uhh...not sure
But shouldn’t it be on justin.tv? If it is, could someone post a link of it on BGN like they did with the Week 1 preseason game? It would greatly be appreciated.

by MalibuLSV23 on Aug 25, 2009 9:09 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
i dont think ticket carries all preseason games…….my local eagles bar didnt have the 1st game and they always have the regular season games.
by GreenInBaltimore on Aug 25, 2009 9:15 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I called all over trying to find the 1st game live. All the sportbars said the NFL ticket does not broadcast preseason games. So how are we going to watch this?
by Annapolis Eagle on Aug 25, 2009 9:31 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Isn’t it being shown in Philly? If it is, then someone’s bound to show a live stream of it on justin.tv.
